i still havent gotten any word from bestbuy about my order shipping. this is starting to irritate me, a lot, but i cant say im not going to wait it out because im saving about $100 on this deal here. Anyone know if this is a backorder that can be extended like backorder extensions are mentioned on bestbuy.com help pages? or has anyone ordered on or after the 21st and received their card?

if you check all the other usual sites that have sold this card (like newegg, searching google etc...) if looks as if this card has been discontinued. Everyone shows it as out of stock or the pages for this item were removed from the website. I'm hoping that since BB still is allowing customers to buy the card on BB.com that they have a stock coming in from somewhere and that they'll fill our orders with that. I will be PISSED if we waited all this time to find out that BB sold out of the card during this sale, wont be getting any more in, and we wasted a month of our time on their incompetence.
I tried calling a warehouse to check on the stock and stuff, but I could only find the number for the distribution center in NJ, and they couldn't find my order since its not my center to be distributed from. urgh. and no one has the numbers for the centers near me. Maybe theres a center sitting on a nice big stock of this card, and they have to send it out to the other centers and then to us? maybe? this is killing me. i dont mind waiting, but i cant stand poor customer service and not being able to find out the status of a $300+ order beyond the term "backordered".
Lets complain and get free stuff...

I used my debit and checking card, and it shows up as a hold, but not as a charge, so id imagine thats why it seems like BB has charged your card. I just called the 800 number again and talked to an online representative that actually speaks english this time, and he said all he could see is that the manufacturer was going to be sending more cards late july / early august, and so i had him extend my backorder another 30 days. i would imagine that those who are just having there cards shipped to them have gotten the last couple left, or repackaged returns or "the bottom of the barrel" as far as the stock goes, or else they would be shipping more cards. i doubt there were that many purchases for this card on the time frame of one week, given all of the other cards that were on sale too, but i guess we'll never know.
urgh... can you tell im anxious to get my card?
